Polymorphism In Java

Introduction

• Polymorphism in Java allows objects to be treated as


instances of their superclass, enabling flexibility in
programming.

• It is a key concept in object-oriented programming, where


methods can be defined in a superclass and overridden in
subclasses.

• Polymorphism simplifies code maintenance and promotes


code reusability by allowing for more modular and flexible
design.
Types of Polymorphism

• There are two types of polymorphism in Java: compile-time


(static) and runtime (dynamic).

• Compile-time polymorphism is achieved through method


overloading, where multiple methods have the same name
but different parameters.

• Runtime polymorphism is achieved through method


overriding, where a subclass provides a specific
implementation of a method defined in its superclass.
Method Overloading

• Method overloading allows a class to have multiple


methods with the same name but different parameters.

• The compiler determines which method to call based on the


number and type of arguments passed.

• Method overloading is resolved at compile time and is also


known as static polymorphism.
Method Overriding

• Method overriding occurs when a subclass provides a


specific implementation of a method defined in its
superclass.

• The overridden method in the subclass should have the


same name, return type, and parameters as the superclass
method.

• Method overriding is resolved at runtime and is also known


as dynamic polymorphism.
Benefits of Polymorphism

• Polymorphism promotes code reusability by allowing


different classes to share a common interface.

• It enhances maintainability and flexibility by enabling easy


modifications to individual class implementations.

• Polymorphism supports the concept of abstraction, where


the focus is on what an object can do rather than how it is
implemented.
Conclusion

• Polymorphism is a powerful feature in Java that enables


flexible and modular design in object-oriented
programming.

• By leveraging both compile-time and runtime


polymorphism, developers can create robust and extensible
applications.

• Understanding and applying polymorphism effectively can


lead to more efficient and maintainable code in Java
projects.
